City Proposes Extensive Rezones for CHUV; Neighbors can Comment

New zoning map released for Crown Hill Urban Village

In November 2017, the Office of Planning and Community Development released its preferred alternative zoning recommendations for Crown Hill Urban Village as part of the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

How YOU can weigh-in on the rezones

An open house and a public hearing were held in February/March of 2018, and many neighbors testified, wrote and called. Neighbors can still ask questions and voice their opinions about the rezones. How?

Contacting the City Council by phone or email. Contact information is here.

Appeal of the Environmental Impact Statement Underway

Neighbors have requested information on the neighborhood coalition legal appeal currently underway of the MHA Environmental Impact Statement and rezoning. Contact Seattle Fair Growth directly to learn more about the appeal and to donate. CHUV Committee for Smart Growth is not participating in the appeal.

CHUV Committee for Smart Growth will update the neighbors of next steps as we learn more.
